Herman Petersen Tailoring

This view of the lower story at 136 E. Sixth Street shows Herman Petersen's Tailor Shop. The front consists of a central entrance with a tile floor flanked by matching plate glass display windows. "Petersen Tailor" is spelled out on the front of a stenciled canvas awning. Scalloped and fringed lambrequins are seen at the top, inside the show windows. Visible through these windows are men's suits, felt hats, fashion plates, and bolts of wool suiting cloth. Window signs read "Herman Petersen, Men's Fashions" and "Herman Petersen, Fine Tailoring". A Red Cross recruiting sign reads "Join". A concrete sidewalk is seen in front of the building and distinctive white glazed brick or tile form the base at the bottom of the display windows.
